so far, only phase2motortrend.com has BV stuff.

From what I've notice about them...

p2m's prices arent the best out there. But then again, not many ppl in so cal has a store that carries BV lol

yes, that is possible in some instances, but what's the sense? s13 is cheaper, and as far as strength is concerned, both types do just fine.

i wouldn't recommend buying the CHEAP ones (i won't mention brand names) but they are the ones that pop up on ebay and have bushings that squeak and suck 1 month later.

you get what you pay for, always.

here is what underlines your motives for saying that.... your just trying to make a sale.

BV stuff is supper high quality Alex is a cool guy. Support a company that is trying to make things less expensive,

and in all cases s13 and s14 RUCA can be swaped end of story

so...how much do BV run for? is it worth the extra over powertrix for $219? i believe BV only makes half, not full circles...is there any reason to get a half over a full or vice versa?

the new version 2 battle version stuff is good.

price is $325

and no, im not trying to make a sale, im just recommending what our company believes in and what i personally use, which is high end stuff from japan. i wasn't in here to make a sale, rather to inform and give my opinion because he asked BV or Cusco. that being said, for the record i do support BV and his stuff is quality as well. i'd use either, i just PREFER cusco.

the reason i do not believe in knockoffs that you might find on ebay is because many of my customers and friends have gone that path with rucas specifically, only to find themselves stuck with bad product in the future. i'm just saying buyer beware, in some instances. please don't take it the wrong way.

Let me get this straight....

So S13 and S14 RUCAS are interchangable? So it doesnt really matter weather its S13 or S14 even tho they look different? Both should fit right?

i think its up on what the buyer prefers. But then again the full circle could be stronger
